Yep, you heard right! We are having another addition to the Tedder family! I found out I was pregnant on January 23rd, (the exact same day that Tedder baby #2 was suppose to be here, ironic, right?) Me and Dustin kept it between ourselves, beside Dawn, my twin sister and BEST friend, just to be on the safe side. I made an appointment. The Dr. gave me an ultrasound and said it didn't look good...we were devastated. He said I was measuring 11 weeks when he did my physical, but the ultrasound was showing the baby at 5 weeks, which meant the baby just wasn't growing. He said we will check the baby again in one week and just go from there. So, I couldn't tell anyone. I kept telling Dustin that I felt pregnant. I was nauseous and felt extremely tired and having mood changes. I just knew that I was having a baby. We kept praying that everything would be OK. Well, I went yesterday and we got to see the baby's heart beating! I was so happy all I could do was cry. We could finally share our wonderful news with friends and family. The first thing I went and did was buy Landon a big brother shirt. We went by our parents house to just "drop" by. We got to Dustin's parents and after a while we finally said,"How do you like Landon's shirt?" His dad said, "I like it." Then his mom read it and started screaming so then Rowland read it! They we ecstatic! Then we repeated the process with my parents! They didn't notice Landon's shirt either until we pointed it out! Now, we will just keep praying that this pregnancy will go very smoothly. They will monitor me very closely. Since I am RH- and didn't receive the shot in time, I have developed antibodies, which see the babies blood type, if RH+, as foreign and will start attacking it. Once you miss the shot, you can never get it again. Over 5000 babies are born each year with their mothers having the same condition as I have. We have a 80 -100% chance that the baby will be healthy, even if the baby will have to have blood transfusions, called "exchange transfusions" through the umbilical cord every week until he is delivered. That has made me feel alot better! So please everyone keep me in your prayers, and we will keep you updated! We are both hoping for another little boy...but as long as the baby is healthy, it doesn't matter!
Dustin's riding lawnmower quit on him last week, and we needed our grass cut. We knew we couldn't wait until it got fixed, so he went over to his Daddy's house and got his push mower. Well, Landon has never seen Dustin cut the grass with the push mower, and when he seen him get it off the truck, he ran and got his lawn mower so he could help Daddy! I just thought it was the cutest thing ever, and had to grab my camera. He is going to be a good Daddy's helper! 
When it rains, we love to sit on the porch and blow bubbles. However, on this particular day last week, Landon kept slowly moving from the porch, to the steps, to the ground. I told him to come back on the porch before he got wet. Then I thought, "He is a 2 year old, and rain never hurt anyone, right?" So I asked Dustin to run and get my carmera, and I was going to take pictures of Landon in the rain! Landon thought it was so funny that he was playing in the rain and getting wet! Here are some of my favorite pictures of him.
With it being our last vacation as a family of 3, we decided this vacation would be all about Landon. He is such a sweet child, and we know that once the baby gets here, alot of attention will be on him. So we headed down to my sister's Beach house in Garden City! There is a salt-water pond right in front of the house, so Landon had fun feeding the Swans and ducks the whole week too! We didnt know it was Bike Week, but it wasnt bad at all and Landon loved seeing all the motorcycles! We went to Ripley's Aquarium and Landon LOVED it! We couldn't believe how interested he was in knowing what all the fish were, and their names. He was an angel the whole day. After that, we walked around Broadway and feed the fish and ducks and got some Fudge! We also went to Dixie Stampede! Landon loved seeing all the horsies, and was perfect the whole show. He just stood up and watched the whole show without moving an inch. He wouldn't touch the horses though. We finished up the week by going to a Myrlte Beach Pelican's baseball game. Landon has been to several games, but this one was more enjoyable since he "understands" the concept of baseball since him and Daddy are in the yard everyday playing. Here are some photos of our last vacation as a family of 3!
Cousin Will had a Cowboy Theme Rodeo birthday party! He was turning 2 and we had a blast! There were all kind of activities and even had horses to ride! Landon and Bryce had a blast celebrating Will's 2nd birthday! Thanks to Aunt Emily and cousin Will for a GREAT TIME!
Summer is Here! There is nothing better than spending hot summer days laying out by the pool! Landon loves to go over to Aunt Randa's so we can get in her big pool! We all love going over there! He was brave this weekend and mommy let him go down the slide several times! He knows how to kick his feet but I was still nervous about my baby going down! I let him go down once by himself and I was there to catch him, and then he rode down several times with Aunt Dawn! We are looking forward to many more days by the pool this summer!
We love Easter time! We love bunnies, Easter egg hunting, time with family, candy, but most of all, it is a wonderful time to think about Jesus dying for us and rising in 3 days. We love God wit hour whole heart and if you dont have Christ in your life, you dont have anything. He are some pictures of our Easter 2009!
